Investigation of Exotic Structure of the Largely Deformed Nucleus ^23A1 in the Relativistic-Mean-Field Model

A candidate for proton halo nucleus ^23A1 is investigated based on the constrained calculations in the framework of the de[ormed relativistic mean tield (RMF) model with the NL075 parameter set. It is shown by the constrained calculations that the ground state of ^23A1 has a large deformation that corresponds to the prolate shape. With that large deformation, the non-constrained RMF calculation predicts that there appears an inversion between the 2s1/2 [211] and ld5/2 [202] shells. The valence proton of ^23A] is weakly bound and occupies 2s1/2 [211] and ld5/2 [202] with the weights of 56% and 29%, respectively. The calculated RMS radius for matter is in agreement with the experimental one. It is also predicted that the difference between the proton RMS radius and the neutron one is very large, This suggests that there exists a proton hMo in ^23Al.     

Investigation on the deformation of Ne and Mg isotope chains within relativistic mean-field model

Ne and Mg isotope chains are investigated based on constrained calculations in the framework of a deformed relativistic mean-field （RMF） model with the NL075 parameter set. The calculated quadrupole deformation and binding energy are compared with other theoretical results as well as the available experimental data. It shows that the calculated deformations of Ne and Mg with the NL075 are more accurate than those obtained with the NL-SH. It is predicted that ^19,29,32Ne and ^20,31Mg maybe have a triaxial deformation and ^25-28Ne and ^27-30Mg exhibit a shape coexistence probably. The closure effect of neutron number N=8 for ^20Mg is predicted to be very weak.     

Isoscalar Giant Resonances of ^120Sn in the Quasiparticle Relativistic Random Phase Approximation

The quasiparticle relativistic random phase approximationmean field ground state in the response function formalism(QRRPA) is formulated based on the relativistic The pairing correlations are taken into accountin the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer approximation with a constant pairing gap. The numerical calculations are performed in the case of various isoscalar giant resonances of nucleus ^120Sn with parameter set NL3. The calculated results show that the QRRPA approach could satisfactorily reproduce the experimental data of the energies of low-lying states.     

Possible Experimental Evidence of a Moderate Proton Halo in ^29S

The total reaction cross sections (TRCSs) of^29S ^28Si have been measured at intermediate energies. An obvious enhancement in TRCS of ^29S is observed as compared with its neighbouring nuclei. The TRCSs of ^29S ^28Si arecal culated with the modified Glauber theory in the optical limit and few-body approaches. The different factor d as a possible measure of halo appearance is deduced from the experimental and theoretical data. It is well accepted that ^27p is a proton halo nucleus. Although not as anomalous as ^27p, the different factor d of ^29S is obviously larger than that of its neighbouring isotones of N = 13. This result indicates that a moderate proton halo may exist in ~9S nucleus. We calculate the total reaction cross sections for ~9S with the modified Glaubertheory as a function of incident energy and compare the results with those for 2rSi which is a core nucleus 0f29S.The measured TRCSs of 27Si4-2SSi can be described to be satisfactory by the modified Glauber theory of theoptical limit approach. Although a diffused nuclear density distribution is used, the theories still inadequatelypredict the experimental TRCSs of 29S4-2SSi, which further indicates the possibility of proton halo in 29S.     

Shape Evolution of the Compound Nucleus in the Superheavy Element Synthesis Reaction via the BUU Model

By taking the BUU model, we simulate the superheavy element synthesis reaction. With the rotation effect being included in the BUU model, the effect of the non-centrality of the reaction ^48Ca＋^238U→^286 112 is studied. It is shown that the promising impact parameter in the synthesis process can be released from zero to a value little smaller than the radius of the smaller nucleus involved in the reaction. Meanwhile, the compound nucleus may involve rich shape phases.     

Halo Structure of Nucleus ^23Al

The recently measured reaction cross section of ^23Al is analysed in the Glauber model with an optical limit or few-body approach.It is found that the conventional fixed core-plus-nucleon model for halo nuclei is unable to explain the observed abnormally large reaction cross section of ^23Al by any selection of the halo nucleon configurations.The reaction cross section of ^23Al can be described when the core size is enlarged,although the Coulomb barrier lagely hinders the formation of a halo sturcture for proton-rich nuclei.This is consistent with the case in s-d shell neutron-rich nuclei,where an enlarged core was proposed to explain both the reaction cross section and longitudinal momentum distribution data.     

Identical Superdeformed Bands in ^171Ta and ^173Re

The rotational band built on the i13/2 proton [660,1/2] Nilsson state in ^173Re is proven to be identical to that in ^171Ta.The close similarity of the two bands in ^171Ta and ^173Re suggests that the ^173Re nucleus with the odd proton based on the i13/2 [660,1/2] Nilsson state may be triaxially superdeformed.     

Effects of Al component content on optoelectronic properties of Al_xGa_(1-x)N

Using density functional theory, the electronic structures, lattice constants, formation energies, and optical properties of Al_xGa_(1-x)N are determined with Al component content x in a range from 0 to 1. As x increases, the lattice constants decrease in e-exponential form, and the band gap increases with a band bending parameter b=0.3954. The N–Al interaction force in the(0001) direction is greater than the N–Ga interaction force, while the N–Al interaction force is less than the N–Ga interaction force in the(10ī0) direction. The formation energies under different Al component content are negative and increase with Al component content increasing. The static dielectric function decreases, the absorption edge has a blue shift, and the energy loss spectrum moves to high energy with the Al component content increasing.     

Identical Bands and Alignment in ^193,194Tl

The microscopic mechanism of the identical bands in odd-odd nucleus ^194Tl and its neighbour odd-A nucleus ^193Tl are investigated using the particle-number conserving method with monopole and quadrupole pairing interaction. It is found that the blocking effect plays an important role in the variation of moments of inertia (J^(1) and J^(2)) with rotational frequency for the superdeformed bands and identical bands. The alignment of 194T1 bands with respect to the ^193Tl(1) band used as a reference is also discussed.     

Theoretical Study on N = 126 Shell Evolution

The nuclei around magic number N = 126 are investigated in the deformed relativistic mean field （RMF） model with effective interactions TMA. We focus investigations on the N = 126 isotonic chain. The N = 126 shell evolution is studied by analyzing the variations of two-neutron （proton） separation energies, quadruple deformations, single particle levels etc. The good agreement of two-neutron separation energies between experimental data and calculated values is reached. The RMF theory predicts that the sizes of N = 126 shell become smaller and smaller with the increasing of proton number Z. However, the N = 126 shell exists in our calculated region all along. According to the calculated two-proton separation energies, the RMF theory suggests ^220Pu is a two-proton drip-line nucleus in the N = 126 isotonic chain.     

Anomalously Large Deformation in Some Medium and Heavy Nuclei

We investigate the properties of the Ce isotopes with neutron number N =60 - 90 and the properties of the heavy nuclei near 242Am within the framework of deformed relativistic mean-field （RMF） theory. A systematic comparison between theoretical results and experimental data is made. The calculated binding energies, two-neutron separation energies, and two-proton separation energies are in good agreement with experimental ones. The variation trend of experimental quadrupole deformation parameters on the Ce isotopes can be approximately reproduced by the RMF model. It is found that there exists an abnormally large deformation in the ground state of proton-rich Ce isotopes. This phenomenon can be the general behavior of proton-rich nuclei on the neighboring isotopic chains such as Nd and Sin isotopes. For the heavy nuclei near ^242 Am the properties of the ground state and superdeformed isomeric state can be approximately reproduced by the RMF model. The mechanism of the appearance of anomalously large deformation or superdeformation is analyzed and its influence on nuclear properties is discussed. Parther experiments to study the anomalously large deformation in some proton-rich nuclei are suggested.     

Structure and reaction dynamics of SHE Z = 130

This study investigates the structural properties of super-heavy nuclei with Z = 130 by adopting the relativistic mean-field(RMF) theory within an axially deformed oscillator basis with the NL3 force parameter set. We study the binding energies, quadrupole deformation, nuclear radii, neutron separation energies, and other bulk properties.Moreover, we analyze the favorable decay modes for clear cognitive content of nuclei, such as alpha decay, using different formulae including the Viola-Seaberg, analytical formula of Royer, universal curve formula, and universal decay law. We compare these with the corresponding fission process. The spontaneous fission of super-heavy nuclei is studied with Z = 130 within the mass region 310 ≤A≤340. The results exhibit good agreement with finite range droplet model(FRDM) data. This formalism presents a significant step forward in the study of the structure and decay modes of the isotopes of Z = 130. With this appraisal, we investigate the possible shell/sub-shell closure for super-heavy nuclei adjacent by decay chains of alpha and other radioactive decay particles.     

Structural, electronic and magnetic properties of the Mnben Ni(110) c(2×2) surface alloy

Using first-principles total energy method, we study the structural, the electronic and the magnetic properties of the MnNi(110) c(2×2) surface alloy. Paramagnetic, ferromagnetic, and antiferromagnetic surfaces in the top layer and the second layer are considered. It turns out that the substitutional alloy in the outermost layer with ferromagnetic surface is the most stable in all cases. The buckling of the Mn–Ni(110) c(2×2) surface alloy in the top layer is as large as 0.26á(1á=0.1 n13) and the weak rippling is 0.038 AA in the third layer, in excellent agreement with experimental results. It is proved that the magnetism of Mn can stabilize this surface alloy. Electronic structures show a large magnetic splitting for the Mn atom, which is slightly higher than that of Mn–Ni(100) c(2×2) surface alloy (3.41 eV) due to the higher magnetic moment. A large magnetic moment for the Mn atom is predicted to be 3.81 μ_B. We suggest the ferromagnetic order of the Mn moments and the ferromagnetic coupling to the Ni substrate, which confirms the experimental results. The magnetism of Mn is identified as the driving force of the large buckling and the work-function change. The comparison with the other magnetic surface alloys is also presented and some trends are predicted.     

Description of ^178Hf^m2 in the Constrained Relativistic Mean Field Theory

Properties of the ground state of ^178Hf and the isomeric state ^178Hf^m2 are studied within the adiabatic and diabatie constrained relativistic mean field （RMF） approaches. The RMF calculations reproduce well the binding energy and the deformation for the ground state of ^178Hf. Using the ground state single-particle eigenvalues obtained in the present eaiculation, the lowest excitation configuration with K^π = 16^＋ is found to be v（7/2^-[514]）^-1（9/2^＋ [624]）^1 π（7/2^＋ [404]）^-1 （9/2^-[514]）^1. Its excitation energy caiculated by the RMF theory with time-odd fields taken into account is equal to 2.801 MeV, i.e., close to the ^178Hf^m2 experimentai excitation energy 2.446 MeV. The self-consistent procedure accounting for the time-odd component of the meson fields is the most important aspect of the present calculation.     

One-Proton Halo Structure in ^23Al

The Glauber theory is used to investigate the reaction cross section of proton-rich nucleus ^23Al. A core plus a proton structure is assumed for ^23Al. HO-type density distribution is used for the core while the density distribution for the valence proton is calculated by solving the eigenvalue problem of Woods-Saxon potential The transparency function in an analytical expression is obtained by adopting multi-Gaussian expansion for the density distribution. Coulomb correction and finite-range interaction are introduced. This modified G1auber model is suitable for halo nuclei. A dominate s-wave is suggested for the last proton in ^23Al from our analysis which is possible in the calculation of relativistic mean-field theory.

Nuclear Current and Magnetic Rotation

The magnetic rotational bands based on the configuration πh11/2^2 vh11/2^-2 in ^142Gd are investigated with the newly developed tilted axis cranking relativistic mean field （RMF） theory with and without nuclear current. The effect of the nuclear current is discussed by comparing the total Routhians, single particle levels, electromagnetic transition probabilities B（M1） and B（E2） in self-consistent tilted axis cranking RMF caIculation with those obtained without the nuclear current. The nuclear currents are found to play an important role in the magnetic rotation of nuclei.

In particular the effects of the rotational frequency ω and pairing-energy gap parameter A are discussed in detail in the course of shaping its triaxial superdeformation; additionally the neutron-shell correction energy is analyzed with emphasis in the confirmed triaxial superdeformed nucleus ^173Hf. Finally, more systematical results have been investigated for some confirmed superdeformed nuclei experimentally and a few predicted triaxial superdeformed nuclei theoretically with quadropole deformation ε2 ≈0.4 and triaxial deformation γ≈20° or 30° in the Z = 72 region.     

Tensor force effect on proton shell structure in neutron-rich Ca isotopes

In the framework of the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock approach with 36 sets of the TI J parameterizations,the tensor force effect on the evolution of the single-proton states in the calcium isotopes is systematically investigated.It is shown that the single-proton states with higher angular momenta are influenced significantly by the tensor force and the trend in the evolution of somesingle-particle energy differences with the mass number of the isotopes depends sensitively on a parameter βT associated with the intensity of the tensor force.To understand this phenomenon,we analyze the spin-orbit potentials and the radial wave functions of relevant single-proton orbits in detail.In addition,it is found that some TI J interactions could cause the 2s1/21d3/2 energy level inversion in 48Ca.
